11 Mar 2015

On February 19, 2015, J Chris Griffin held a Pop Vocal Production Masterclass at SAE New York. The events was packed with attendees overflowing into the hallway.

J Chris Griffin is the founder of the Pop Vocal Academy at Engine Room Audio in downtown Manhattan, and he has worked with artists including Madonna, Kelly Clarkson, and John Legend. His vocal students have gone on to perform on NBC's The Voice, Glee, and won Billboard Awards.

He opened up the masterclass with the aspects of "perfect vocals: a clean signal pattern ("...sounds like you're eating money!"), the session is fun for both the engineer and artist, and the recording sounds easy to a listener. The workshop lasted about 90 minutes and discussed the blend of mechanics and art that goes into vocal production.

J Chris Griffin's Pop Vocal Production Masterclass is the debut episode of the Eavesdropper Series on SAEtv! Watch the episode for an hour-long video of the popular workshop.
